Anakreontos Tēiou Melē = Anacreontis Teii odae, Paris, 1552-1554 : manuscript in the hand of Henri Estienne.

Manuscript in Greek and Latin written on vellum by the French printer and classical scholar Henri Estienne, containing a selection of Odes by Anacreon, seemingly written shortly before their first publication by Estienne in 1554. In preparing his edition of Anacreon's poems, Estienne consulted a manuscript in the possession of John Clement (married to Sir Thomas More's adopted daughter) in Louvain in 1551, now known as the Palatine Anthology, the two volumes of the manuscript containing Anacreon's Odes is currently held at the Library of the University of Heidelberg and the Bibliothèque nationale de France.
Volume starts with a preface by Estienne to Cardinal Alessandro Farnese (1529-1589), explaining that Estienne has also included his own Latin versions of some of the Odes, but only the ones he considers genuinely by Anacreon rather than one of his followers; followed by a two-page poem by Jean Dorat, who had taught poetry to the young Henri, praising Cardinal Farnese as the only suitable recipient for the verses.
